This weekend in most of Massachusetts, for those of you who may not now, we celebrated Patriots’ Day with a three-day weekend. Along with an extra day off comes parades, battle reenactments and the Boston Marathon.

My friends and I celebrated, in the almost 90 degree weather, on the marathon route cheering along the runners. It was a hot day so a big congratulations goes out to all who ran the 26.2 mile route from Hopkinton to Boston.
